#ClimateChange set the table for #LosAngeles #wildfires
#GlobalWarming from burning #fossilfuels increased the likelihood of extreme fire conditions.
Today’s #climate, 2.3°F (1.3°C) above pre-industrial average, based on a 10yr ave, also increased overlap between flammable #drought conditions and strong #SantaAna winds that propelled the flames from vegetated open space into neighborhoods, killing at least 28 people and destroying or damaging more than 16,000 structures.
